I recommend Ken Follett’s “The Fall of Giants”, the first book of an intended “century trilogy”. It is an historical novel about WWI and the Russian Revolution...and much more.

Re: Ken Follett

I read and watched “Pillars of the Earth” and found it greatly steeped in history but bogged down with sex and predictable story lines. (I love history -hate love stories)

I considered reading “The Fall of Giants” but don’t want to get sucked in to another mediocre book of his unless this one is different.

What’s your opinion?

Ken Follet’s “The Pillars of the Earth” was one of the best books I ever read!

Is this one as good?
